Blog Tour: Guest Post + Review- Blood Twist by Bonnie Erina Wheeler

Summary-

From Bonnie Erina Wheeler, the author who brought you Fate Fixed, comes the second installment in the Erris Coven Series, Blood Twist. 

Find out what happens to the Erris Coven when Lexie's BFF Liz comes to town. 

Braden Murphy knew he was going to die. There was a twist to his family secret – one that was forced upon him from the time he was a child. For years he envisioned his final days and tried to be strong enough to leave his family. Now that it was time, he was ready to make good on a deadly promise. Except for one unexpected glitch, a raven haired beauty insisted on joining him. 

Liz Sanders thought her best friend’s stepfamily was weird, but she never would have guessed they were werewolves. Now Liz must travel with a secretive half-vampire in search of a lycanthropy cure. Landing in a nest full of blood thirsty vampires wasn’t on the agenda, but neither was falling in love.

Braden is tempting, but Liz’s feelings for him are complicated. She wishes he would open up about his past and give her a reason to trust him.

Just when Liz thinks she can let her guard down, she’s forced to confront the evil that has been stalking Braden’s past for years. Death is here and ready to destroy everything they've fought to save.

                                             GUEST POST:

Today Bonnie will be sharing with us some of her favorite bands/songs which remind her of any scenes or characters from Blood Twist.



♪♫♬  FAVOURITE BANDS/SONGS  
THAT REMIND BONNIE OF BLOOD TWIST ♬♫♪ 


I am a huge music fan. In fact, I cannot imagine trying to write without my headphones playing my favorite playlist. In Blood Twist, my character who thinks of himself as Death, does have a song I always enjoyed listening to while writing his scenes. It is “Night of the Hunter” by my absolute favorite band 30 Seconds to Mars. Death certainly thinks of himself as a hunter and I love the feel of that song. Truth be told, I listened to that band while writing all three of my novels and the fourth novel I am writing now. Now Liz, being that she has gone through a lot in her short life, has a variety of tunes I would write to while creating her world. When she was feeling betrayed by Braden, I was playing “We are Broken” by Paramore and “Cut” by Plumb, but, when she was happy and really feeling strong feelings of new love, I played “Boom” by Anjulie. Now for the brothers, Braden was totally a “Keep Your Hands off my Girl” by Good Charlotte and Riley was “Think Twice” by Eve 6. I love music and think it is a wonderful way to get into your character’s heads. I hope this gives you a little peak into mine. :)

Review-

Blood Twist is the second book in the Erris Coven series. You can find my review of Fate Fixed, the first book in the series here. Blood Twist continues right where Fate Fixed left off. It is necessary to read this series in order because the story progresses that way and you get to know more about the characters. Also, there are a lot of things happening simultaneously and the consequences which the characters have to face are of their actions in the previous book.

Braden Murphy,is the oldest of the four cousins which comprises of Braden, Torin, Cian and Teagan. In Fate Fixed Braden came off as an uptight and overprotective brother but in Blood Twist you come to know so much more about him. Braden has a past which haunts him and you can see how things have been for him which makes him the way he is.

Liz is Lexie's BFF who's come to help out Lexie and her family. Liz is outspoken, fun and kick ass. She's hilarious and isn't afraid to say what's on her mind. It comes off like she doesn't give a damn what anyone thinks about her but when you get to see who she really is inside you can feel her vulnerability. I loved Liz's character in many ways.

Braden and Liz are truly opposites. But opposites attract and they sure as hell do. I loved the romance between them. Braden and Liz have good chemistry and try as they may they can't help but drift towards each other.

There were many other characters as well whom I loved in Blood Twist. Riley is like the perfect definition for the word tortured soul. Things were left open with his story and I really hope we get to see more of him. Also, the tension between Cian and Brooke by the end of Blood Twist was searing. I think Soul Kissed which is the next book in the Erris Coven series is going to be about Cian and Brooke and I'm really looking forward to it.

Unlike so many sequels Blood Twist does not disappoint. In fact it just gets better. We get to see more depth to the characters and the story. The writing is fabulous and keeps you going through. There is lots of romance, action and mystery. If you haven't read this series yet I really hope you give it a try.

Review- Fate Fixed by Bonnie Erina Wheeler

Summary-
  When Lexie Anderson’s mother suddenly announces she is marrying a Romanian immigrant, Lexie willingly leaves behind her busy life in Connecticut for her penance in “The Moose Capital of the World.” Small town living is strange enough, now Lexie must cope with her overbearing stepfamily monitoring her every move. They disappear into the woods at night and keep a strange secret locked in their shed. Her once calm mother is now having violent outbursts and Lexie’s little sister is hearing sinister sounds coming from the forest behind their new home. Lexie’s biggest surprise comes when she discovers the boy she has been dreaming about since her accident is living in Maine. Despite Torin’s questionable reputation, Lexie cannot resist the physical and emotional attraction pulsating between them. Animals and people in town are turning up dead and Lexie learns the strange new world she lives in has real life monsters. Just when she decides she wants to be with Torin forever, she must fight to protect her mother and sister from being harmed by a formidable evil.

Review-

Fate Fixed is not your typical paranormal romance. Nowadays, there are so many vampire romances with the same thing in them but Fate Fixed was a fresh young adult paranormal romance with a nice mystery. The story was a bit predictable but I still enjoyed it.

It starts with Lexie having dreams about a mysterious boy with blue eyes. She has to move to a small town in Maine with her new family. Her mother has remarried after her father passed away and now Lexie has three step brothers and a step father to adjust with. The death of Lexie's father is a tragic incident which Lexie blames herself for. There are lot of changes happening in her life and she has a lot to deal with.

Torin, is the mystery boy Lexie dreams of. He's quiet and intense and the mystery around him definitely leaves you wanting more. Torin, Teagan, Cian and Braden are four cousins who form the group in Fate Fixed. Each of them has a unique personality and style. I was intrigued by each of them and can't wait to see how their stories go.

Lexie and Torin's love story was spectacularly romantic and super sweet. You could see the attraction and how easily they balanced each other out. But before they can fully trust each other gruesome killings of animals start happening which are followed by murders. The plot thickens here. The whole mystery in finding out the killer while protecting their bond is what leads the story toward the climax.

Fate Fixed has a different take on vampires and the story is enjoyable. The pace is fast and the prose is easy and simple. The plot moves so you don't get bored. It is a well written book. You can feel the creepiness and violence coming out in a few scenes. If you are craving a young adult paranormal romance you should definitely read Fate Fixed and be mesmerized by Erris Coven.
